PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG6Mb30mME
He's shaking underneath my grasp.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRP2OsKwp3
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvM1156rUb
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQYNIZM604
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqb1kp8fSs
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj0xZuUuvO
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUHtfP2QPE
I smile bitterly.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp8T0KnsbU
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUz3e6OkhC
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRExitmp7j
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0shj76Btx
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ086tEPzdPs
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasBI9ToIWi
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcurqMivYdW
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY9UJlM31P
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y18OWB8Nn
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEBZXhsqQf
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQbh8hkvAV
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm0SREq9DR
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdxuTu86Fh
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbjqUNLMF3
I allow myself to drop my calm charade and panic a little. Jere's forehead is beaded in sweat. The life in his eyes that once blazed brightly is now dark and sullen.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU2m6jghqn
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVodT7qzj8
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0OM62CEOU
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkUTd2FmuL
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACanCK4vMt
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKjEqed90u
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vNxUAD2Xm
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKziqkliau
I must at all cost keep him awake.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIcQphg3Be
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvqLk4BphB
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrg9YeKVif
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4teo7AWR6r
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtXRr4AKD7
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpnUBecmcU
"Not that long baby I promise."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGpSmJP57F
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXd04VucZu
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkSr6u6Nlt
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfL8znKwkU
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47CwIQOWlO
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzZrvnWmcH
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lj7Ex70g6
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9I5ERbxSe
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd9FxGM3KT
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVohG8lL8M
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaxUoTjBWD
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQxCIhNmXt
I frown at him.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UQfuxVegU
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkKqQ96YlG
"Don't say that."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp2XTqp7CX
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRpiKQoih5
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwu4wgcbCa
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkdDExyXJZ
I gasp.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC0QwJoAVf
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr3ZHAI40F
"Jere stop!"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOibUxJ0xI
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrv54QQyEL
He goes on.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjMYR6SOo2
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytfJ6veSsa
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0S97EiMUh
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr23wlzuygq
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzV4LcrjMs
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfALvqH5E7U
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC01ZY2jCP3
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUagZWu4h1
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8O0eFcbBO
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQpq5gjlLE
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK37rq28JWQ
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14F2FWvRfm
"I won't."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vVZ842F0v
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVreBPykab
He obeys, watching me soberly.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgxjVfX0Uv
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZVB6uFTUr
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiW4wAx71W
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcchOi79Wqt
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL4dl8DXfk
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCzgCvlCbm
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhlrmEFJmv
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC75CPHXlv8
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPPDdaxV1v
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEkZDCdz97
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocXQQv0H2j
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAle0vbIISr
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V9t6clmdk
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhgfSsOpbK
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZAtzWTDCa
He tries to nod but he can't.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dPH5bZsxx
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE6ukgVwLW
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEcWeu4Ohf
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPovsqIP7MK
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq0Ifgnyzh
He looks up into mine.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNNH5SsLfQ
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl4yeq84yp
"Don't leave me." He whispers.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p2Q4u6xbI
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK01mIXeNl
"Stay awake." I tell him.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNuIkW7Ngz
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjOMxUPZB6
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLa1GXhodr
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND1BWDqObm
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxg2Y0MSfj
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLq6JtbJ8Q
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUxjam6g68
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIw0HjZ6n7
He doesn't reply.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwZFTFwFpC
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCybiaUol9
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFc9ddISaE
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhwz7dOT9M
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMSKvWPPM8
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1ehFcsKLt
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXfyYz4Ypd
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSGD2JBQsk
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5F4lvJ2Dp
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLfeflLEZu
"Stay awake." I told him softly.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqg86nIPWp
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb6iZ9wcwk
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLETQFoIUm2
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUaHqdbEFb
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9vSncPXFP
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNjLYytd56
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC6QGpfdBc
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD6Us7gthe
"Kiss me," he repeats.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8GUQ9jt2r
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89GBK4dFzT
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl7QHD5FBl
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Se5NaIGJ6
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2C5Ed2zrj
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0oIxTM4Lg
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcnWPDL64x
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKJ1lV73Kl
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfNj86ngaN
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxcAG6S0wt
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDJCvUqqPv
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvP3vx7ZNr
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlx5hyUvFO
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaUwWoRdAq
Electricity races through me and lingers.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wSDrudXrl
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLjF1eaGSz
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTSIJ84VMX
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BO9xTHBC0
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaFKXtD9Fn
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwPdir1hhl
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFke0Wz4eh6
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4liAwYS7Cz
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqBb3yiHG6
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDiQGufSdM
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIocFFU4z37
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixIrDRPqh4
"Jeremy?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2fzUl4RST
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFD52Nrimc
I shake my head, not believing.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5sx217aUb
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR7HuhBHNN
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzOYHLcr6Y
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ237s7ACa7F
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNaxOsgW1H
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAfNnWzGxk
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeViWM4kOP
841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGCh4T84vx
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.
